This historic map of Connecticut was created in 1857 by Laura Roys, a student at Hartford Female Seminary, one of the first major educational institutions for women in the United States. The borders of each town are highlighted using colorful shades of orange, red, pink, blue, green, yellow, purple, violet and gold.
In addition to showing the border of Connecticut’s towns and cities, the map also includes illustrations of local landmarks and geological features such as rivers, mountains, lakes, and islands.
